Attorneys for Luigi Mangione asked a judge to stop federal prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against their client, saying the U.S. government “intends to kill Mr. Mangione as a political stunt.”

The motion filed Friday in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District said U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered the death penalty to “carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again.”

Mangione, 26, who faces state murder and terrorism charges in New York, along with federal murder and stalking charges, is accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year in New York City.

    The case against him is so phony. None of the “evidence” is admissible. There’s a ton of prejudicial statements from the investigators and the prosecutors.

    This trial is a sham.

    The charges should be dismissed with prejudice.

    It is so railroaded by no longer believe Luigi did it.

    They’re just pinning it on him as a show to the elites that they are putting on a show for the poors : if you kill one of us we’ll kill you right back.

      Wouldn’t be surprised if the police planted evidence on Luigi to show all the rich fucks they’re open for business. Can only imagine how much bribery came out of this.

      If he is acquitted, expect the MAGA Nazis to raise the stakes, and go with the classic Nazi strategy - you kill one of us, and we choose 10 random innocent people from the community and publicly execute them.

          The wife. The CEO wife is behind it.

          He’s at a hotel early with no security

          He got shot dead

          His wife has him killed.

          It’s not Luigi fighting for the people.

          It’s typical rich people shit.
